  • Ignorance is Risk?

    Hi Dan,

    Great presentation thanks. On my projects we constantly look for and try to manage 'risk' i.e. a risk could be that we don't understand how we interface with x, or implementing feature y could be risky as we don't know exactly what is required etc. As the project progresses we constantly strive to identify risk, and attempt to de-risk accordingly.
